Anxiety

For the past week I've been looking for a job and prepping my requirements for employment. I feel so anxious about completing my requirements and frustrated from the challenges that come with it. My frustration mostly comes from waiting -- for results, for releasing of documents, for delays. It's the weekend again, and Monday was …

Turmeric Milk Tea + Mid-year Gratitude

Aaand because Turmeric milk tea is back in rotation, my tummy keeps making those sounds that tell you it's doing something important. I had shoulder pains for the past few days since I started planking and push-ups but because I do it with Qi Gong, it removes the knots right away. I have a couple …

April-ender

So, it's been a couple of weeks, and there hasn't been much going on really, except that I added planking and push-ups in my post-Qi Gong routine. I can immediately feel the muscle pain, even for just a minute of planking and 10 push-ups for two days. I know it's not much yet, but as …

Missing QG

So I missed 2 days of Qi Gong because I went to an excursion with my old workmates and was so tired the day after, I slept the whole day in. I have to let go of the 2 days, right? Coz I feel bad about it. But I got to shake it off. Good …

On Self-love

I was having second thoughts of making another post, but here I am making up for the past 10+ days. I find it easier by the day to willfully fight oversleeping. I also find taking medications to be like clockwork. I make time to cook, practice Qi Gong, take a long walk, and treat myself …

On Clozapine, Qi Gong, and Productivity

(What it really is, is this Putomayo music making me hungry. I don't know why, but, yeah. Lol.) Hello! The past week and a half has been spent mostly sleeping and watching YT videos about minimalism. I have also gotten back to practicing Qi Gong earlier this week, had a *failed* attempt at a job …

Post-confinement musings

A week after leaving the hospital, I find myself slowing down more than I have intended to. The past month was spent in the hospital, aiding my recuperation after a relapse in the last week of January. Getting discharged felt different; the feel of the sun on your skin is warm, liberating, after being used …

Semper prorsum. Altius.

Clozapine

Hypersalivation. Headaches. Nausea. I'm home, in the metro. Where have I been for the past month is yet to be deliberated on. For now, allow me to be gentle with myself.

Qi Gong Week 2

Good digestion and appetite, but a very bad headache, I had to take naps. There's a feeling of intestinal movement, and the sound your stomach makes when hungry, even only 30 mins after a meal. A lot of sneezing, runny nose, tearing, less pain on my fingertips, but I still feel the bottom of my …
